"Elder Yuan, you mean..." In fact, Sinmo already knew this.

"What you are thinking is absolutely correct. In fact, you also know that it was supposed to be the three deputy elders, but since Elder Rhodes disappeared five hundred years ago, his seat has been vacant. So in the past few hundred years, , we have been constantly looking for people who meet the requirements, and now we all agree that you are this person. As long as the great elder wakes up, he can inform the whole party, and then you will be a veritable deputy elder." Elder Yuan knew clearly Chu's explanation.

"Thank you two elders! If there is nothing else, I want to leave first." This is not like the usual Sinmo at all, because every time he came to the headquarters before, he would never leave until midnight , even if there is nothing wrong, he will just find a random kid to hang out with for hours.

"Okay, go back! But take a look at this portrait first!" Elder Xu said, taking it out of his sleeve and handing it to Sinmo.

"She is..." When Sinmo took the portrait and looked at it, he was completely stunned and couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"You still remember the kid next to Elder Craig (the trainee elder)? He was at the scene when Elder Craig fought with the demonic party. Although he was seriously injured and fainted, he survived because of it. Come down. Afterwards, he drew this portrait and said that the person in the painting was the demon party." Elder Xu shook his head and said, "It is a pity that Elder Craig disappeared like this, and the demon party seemed to be just affected by Just some minor injuries!"

"I didn't expect that she would be such a weak-looking woman!" Elder Yuan sighed. In fact, he was not the only one who was so surprised. Everyone who saw this portrait for the first time, whether they were elders or junior members, were all surprised.

"What surprised me was not because of this, but because I saw her on Sanxiang Street not long ago." Sinmo said calmly.

"Did she see you? Didn't she take action against you?" Elder Xu asked hurriedly.

"No, she had a look of fear on her face at that time, even speaking cautiously." Sinmo recalled the way Xiao Jie faced him and Jing'er. Now he finally fully understood why Xiao Jie was so afraid of Jing'er. Because she had been a vampire for a month, she already knew how powerful she was, and how terrifying Jing'er was for creating such a powerful person.

"What? Could it be that she was seriously injured?" Elder Xu really didn't understand. He always killed every member of the secret party he saw. No matter whether the opponent was an elder or a junior member, he would never leave this devil's party alive. Killer, why are you so afraid of Sinmo? Is it because he has not fully recovered from the injury he suffered after the battle with Elder Craig not long ago.

"She seemed to be fine at all." Sinmo clearly remembered that except for being a little anxious and uneasy because of fear, everything was fine.

"Then why is she so afraid of you?" Elder Yuan couldn't figure it out. Elder Craig's ability is definitely not weaker than Sinmo's. She can even kill Craig. There is no need to be afraid of Sinmo!

"It seems that the two elders misunderstood. She is not afraid of me, but of someone else." Sinmo was not playing tricks, but was thinking about whether to involve Jing'er.

"Who?" the two elders asked in unison.

"Jing'er!" Sinmo finally said her name, because he knew very well that even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it for long, so why bother to hide it

"You mean the little girl who is in your home now?" Elder Yuan confirmed again.

"Yes. It was the two of us who went to Xiaojie's place together." Sinmo said clearly.

"Xiaojie? Are you saying that the secret party's name is Xiaojie?" Elder Xu didn't know that the killer who had been plaguing their entire secret party had such a cute and innocent name.

"Probably, I asked her, and she said her name was Xiaojie, and Jing'er helped her pick this name." This is what Xiaojie told Sinmo, and there shouldn't be anything wrong. After all, she didn't have to lie to Sinmo. .

"Did she take it? Who is she? Is she also a demon?" Elder Xu now believes more and more in Sinmo's previous description of Jing'er. This Jing'er is indeed no ordinary girl. She can actually name that powerful demon party. What is her relationship with that demon party

"I can guarantee that Jing'er will never be a demon. As for the name she gave Xiaojie, maybe it's because she was Jing'er's first embrace (a small ritual in which vampires turn humans into their own kind)! "Sinmo said it so plainly, but the two deputy elders present were completely dumbfounded.

"You mean that little girl created this devil's party?" The two deputy elders came to their senses and asked again, because they really couldn't believe it. According to the reported news, this girl named Lin Jing or Luvian was nothing more than She is a child of fifteen or sixteen years old under the sun. Even if she sucks the blood of the shop owner, it doesn't actually prove that she must be very powerful? Because ordinary humans will not have any problems if they suck the blood of vampires. Since they cannot meet the conditions for first embrace, nothing should happen. Unless, like Sinmo said just now, she is very strong only if she is also a vampire herself. But Sinmo never said that the girl was a vampire, but now she suddenly said that she created the killer.

"Jing'er said that she used a few drops of blood to create Xiaojie a month ago." Sinmo replied again.

"How many drops of blood? A month?" Elder Yuan finally understood why Sinmo always said that she was incredibly powerful whenever he talked about Jing'er. Because using a few drops of blood to create a little vampire that is less than a month old is so powerful, it can be seen that the person who created her is even more unfathomable. Another thing that most people may not know is that when a vampire first embraces, the blood given to the human is equivalent to power. The more blood the human absorbs, the stronger he will be after becoming a vampire.

"So, you have already confirmed that this luvian is a vampire like us, right?" In fact, Elder Yuan had already noticed this from the beginning, from Sinmo's words, but he never asked.

"Actually, from the first time I saw her in the restaurant, I thought she might be a vampire, but I was never sure. Even when I saw her sucking the blood of the shop owner, I still wasn't sure she was a vampire, until she said It was she who created Xiaojie, so I can be sure that she is a member of the vampire family just like us." Sinmo told the truth. Jing'er's identity had been bothering him until a few days ago. Only then did he truly know that Jing'er and he actually had more in common.

"Then she is not only fifteen or sixteen years old as the reported news said, and she can still move in the sun." Elder Xu has lived for so long, and he knows very well that even if a person is only ten years old when he becomes a vampire, She is five or six years old, but the vicissitudes of time will still make her grow up and mature. At least in the eyes of a vampire with hundreds of years of reconnaissance experience, she will never see only fifteen or sixteen years old. And the strangest thing is that she can actually live like an ordinary human being under the sun. This is the most incredible thing. Because the older a vampire gets, the stronger their abilities will be, but they will also become more afraid of the sun. Vampires like them who have been around for nearly a thousand years are basically afraid of the sun. And if this vampire Luvian really created Xiaojie as Sinmo said and could also suck the blood of the shop owner, then her age must not be less than two thousand years, but why is she not afraid of the sun at all? The more Elder Xu thought about it, the more confused he became, and he frowned.

"This is also very strange to me. But after spending so much time with her, I can confirm that she is only as big as she looks. As for why she is so powerful, I think the only explanation I can find is , that means she is a born vampire, and her abilities are inherited." Sinmo explained.

"But even a pure-blooded vampire cannot live under the sun!" Elder Yuan also knew that this was impossible, because there was also a pure-blooded vampire in their secret party, and he was also like ordinary people. Like the vampires, they avoid the sun.

"Is this? I haven't been able to figure it out either." Sinmo shook his head and replied. In fact, Sinmo also wants someone to answer his question. But he knew that maybe no one would know except Jing'er, but he also knew that it would be absolutely impossible for Jing'er to tell this secret to anyone else, no matter who the other person was.

"Since no one knows, let's put this question aside for now. Anyway, now we already know a lot of details about the killer, which is somewhat helpful to us." Elder Yuan's words made Sinmo and Elder Xu leave. This question came up while thinking about it.

"Elder Yuan is right, the most important thing for us now is to deal with this demon party named Xiaojie." Elder Xu also said the same.

"I have a question, why did you go to see that Xiaojie? Wasn't it the other party who asked you to go?" After everyone was silent for a while, Elder Xu suddenly asked a question that they had never thought of.

"No, we found it ourselves. But we were not looking for Xiaojie, but Jing'er's adoptive father. But we didn't expect that her adoptive father Lin Youcheng was actually at Xiaojie's residence, and it seemed that The relationship with Xiaojie is extraordinary." Sinmo answered truthfully.

"What did you find after you went in? Why is the girl named Jing'er unconscious? With her strength, it shouldn't be because of injuries!" Elder Yuan is more interested in this matter. After all, this Luvian has already He became the most interesting person in everyone's mind.

"It's actually very simple to say. It should be because Jing'er pitied a female beggar on the roadside, Lin Youcheng, so she turned into the immortal Xiao Jie, but this Xiao Jie not only failed to follow her warning - don't He hurt others arbitrarily. Instead, he became a murderous evil party. When Lin Youcheng saw Xiaojie again, he already knew that she was the female beggar from before. Because he pitied her, he stayed in Xiaojie's house. She was taken care of by her side, but Xiaojie knew nothing. Even without knowing that Lin Youcheng was the adoptive father of her creator, she treated him as food and drank his blood. When we entered the room At that time, Lin Youcheng had only breathed his last. He only said a few last words to Jing'er and then left Jing'er." Sinmo said calmly, without any sadness at all, maybe it doesn't count here. In the few hundred years that are neither too long nor too short, this kind of thing must have become a bit numb to him!

"Luvian must have been very angry at the time! But why didn't she kill Xiaojie to avenge her adoptive father? It shouldn't be too difficult to kill a newborn she created that was less than a month old!" Elder Xu felt that this was somewhat unexplainable. , after all, in the vampire family, the "creator", which can also be said to be the "father", is like an absolute master to the created or children. No matter whether they have made mistakes or not, as long as the "father" If you are willing, you have enough power and ability to decide whether to let them continue to exist or let them disappear into thin air.

"Elder Xu is right. Facing her dying adoptive father, Jing'er wanted to kill Xiaojie immediately." Sinmo replied, "But before her death, her adoptive father begged her not to hurt Xiaojie, saying that Xiaojie also It's very pitiful, so she let her go for a while, but judging from Jing'er's warning to Xiaojie at that time, as long as Xiaojie continues to kill people or our members so unscrupulously, Jing'er will never do it again. Let her go." Sinmo knew very well that that day was because of Lin Youcheng's dying plea. Otherwise, Xiaojie would never have survived until now.

"So, as long as Luvian is here, Xiaojie will no longer be able to hunt down members of our secret party like before." If this is true, then Elder Yuan can rest assured.

"This is not necessarily true. After all, Xiaojie is now a member of the Demon Party. She should not dare to disobey the orders of the elders of the Demon Party." Sinmo had already found someone to inquire quietly, so he had no knowledge of the members of the Demon Party. Know a little about some of the regulations. In fact, in terms of complete tasks, the Demon Party and the Secret Party are similar, that is, the orders or tasks given by the superiors, even if they disappear, they must be completed at all costs, otherwise they will be punished more cruelly.

"You are right, but in this case, we still have to face this troublesome demon party." Elder Xu said with a deep sigh.

"How about asking Luvian to help?" Elder Yuan suddenly suggested. In fact, Elder Yuan has been thinking about this issue for a while, but now he still has to raise it.

"I don't think so." Sinmo denied.

"Why?" the two deputy elders asked at the same time. Because for them now, this method may be the only one that can truly save the entire secret party. After all, even if the elders work together to kill Xiaojie, the Demon Party, there is still another problem that is difficult to solve, that is, she is still a member of the Demon Party, and the Demon Party and the Secret Party have already agreed to each other. No violation. Although it is this demon party that provokes the entire secret party now, except for her, there is no other demon party with status to intervene. Therefore, when it comes to the table, she cannot represent the entire devil party, so it cannot In this regard, it is said that the devil party broke the contract first. And now if on the territory of the Camarilla, as a member of the Camarilla, she was killed not by an unknown Camarilla, but by the elders of the entire Camarilla working together to kill her in the Camarilla headquarters, then the Demonic Clan would come. When I came to investigate, I didn’t know where to find a reasonable explanation!

"Because Jing'er has been in a coma now, even if she is brought to the headquarters, there is no way to deal with Xiaojie, and now we don't even know when she will wake up, or whether she will wake up! "Sinmo said helplessly. However, his helplessness was not that he could not let Jing'er help the secret party overcome this difficulty, but that he was simply worried that Jing'er would sleep like this forever and never wake up again.

"We forgot about this for a while, so we can only give up for the time being! However, if she wakes up, please bring her to the headquarters immediately. I would like to see her." Elder Yuan said calmly.

"After she wakes up, if she is willing, I will definitely bring her here." The meaning of Sinmo's words must have been clear to the two elders present.

"Okay! You go back first, take good care of her, and try your best to get her to wake up as soon as possible. We are here waiting for your good news." Elder Xu finally said. But the problem is that even if Sinmo is willing to try his best, he doesn't know how to wake up Jing'er. After all, Jing'er's current illness is not due to any external reasons, but because she obviously doesn't want to wake up. Sinmo nodded with a wry smile, then said goodbye and left the temple. The entire temple suddenly became quiet again. (To be continued)
